Welcoming Quinault | Born at Home | {Seattle Birth Videographer}

I am pretty darn excited to share this beautiful family's homebirth experience through photography and film. One thought that continues to overwhelm me when reflecting on the day they welcomed Quinault earthside is how thick the presence of love was. The phrase love bursting at the seams kept repeating itself in my mind. You will see so yourself when watching this!

Another thought I have been brewing on for awhile is how to convey the importance of documenting such an intimate experience such as birth. I have seen and experienced the power of photographs and film for healing. I personally love watching women look back and reflect on their own labor experience and how a different perspective takes them to places like kindness and strength. Again, perspective...much needed and incredible if we allow it. With that being said, if you or know someone interested in birth videography/photography, I would love to chat over coffee about this opportunity :)

Okay okay, enough words..let's let the photos and film speak for themselves. Thank you to this family who graciously wants to share this film with you all.
